Article Synopsis
- Breast-conserving surgery with clear margins is the best treatment for early breast cancer, highlighting the need for accurate identification of normal versus cancerous tissue during operations.
- This study used optical emission spectroscopy (OES) to analyze tissue samples from breast cancer patients, aiming to find distinct spectroscopic features for differentiating between healthy and malignant tissues.
- With an average classification accuracy of 96.9% and high sensitivity and specificity rates, the study suggests that OES could potentially be used in real-time during surgeries to improve tissue margin assessment.
Background: Immune and vascular ageing are proposed risk factors for giant cell arteritis (GCA). Data on the impact of age at diagnosis of GCA on the clinical presentation and course of the disease are scarce.
Methods: Patients with GCA followed at referral centres within the Italian Society of Rheumatology Vasculitis Study Group were enrolled up to November 2021.
Objectives: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) has been described as a possible pulmonary involvement in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV), mainly granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA). Aim of this cross-sectional Italian national study was to describe demographic, clinical and serological profile of ILD related to MPA and GPA and investigate possible correlations between radiologic patterns of ILD and vasculitis features.
Methods: We enrolled 95 consecutive patients with AAV-ILD, 56 affected by MPA (58.
Article Synopsis
- Alveolar haemorrhage (AH) is a serious condition that can lead to complications and death in patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV).
- The study analyzed 106 patients over 10 years, finding that those over 65 years old and those needing respiratory support had significantly higher mortality rates.
- Key outcomes showed that active disease and infections were the leading causes of death, highlighting the importance of tailored treatment approaches for better patient management.
